What to do: Activities, Experiences & Excursions.

As a traveler, you know that taking a trip is much more than just going from point A to point B. It is about experiencing new things, meeting new people and doing something different. Regardless of the tour package you choose, we encourage you to add an activity, experience or excursion. Each of these are uniquely Irish and will enrich your time spent in Ireland.

Activities

We offer a wide range of activities that you can add to any travel itinerary. For instance you can take a guided walk through the Burren landscape in Western Ireland, go horseback riding on a beach or go kayaking with Fungi the dolphin in Dingle. Seven of the top 50 golf courses in the world are located in Ireland. 10 of the best 40 links courses in the world are dotted around this small island’s coast. Nowhere boasts so much quality golf in such a small area as Ireland. You can add a round of golf to any package or take a multi-day golf tour.

We also offer a range of multi-day activity tours if you are looking for longer cycling, horseback riding, walking or adventure tours.
